The Moog Machine - Aquarius (1969) & The Avalanches - Close to You (2000)



This song has been sampled in so many electronic songs, the original must be paid tribute! From 1969, this marks the beginning of electronic music.

The Moog is actually a synthesizer dating back to 1967, and as you can imagine, is the instrument of choice for The Moog Machine.

The Avalanches, a somewhat one-hit-
album group, created an entire set from old samples. They sampled The Moog Machine better than any song by far in my opinion. You can hear Aquarius sampled in their 2000 composition Close to You:
